Grant and Award Announcements

The U.S. Department of Education has made Steppingstones of Technology Innovation for Children With Disabilities awards for several years under the Technology and Media Services for Individuals with Disabilities program. Awards are made in two phases: (1) development and (2) research on effectiveness. Abstracts of projects funded under these two phases can be found at http://publicddb.tadnet.org/.

The Steppingstones of Technology Innovation for Children With Disabilities absolute priority requires grantees to develop, implement and evaluate innovative technology approaches designed to improve results for children with disabilities. Projects funded under Phase 1 must develop and refine a technology-based approach, and test its feasibility for use with children with disabilities. Projects funded under Phase 2 must select a promising technology-based approach that has been developed and tested in a manner consistent with the criteria for activities funded under Phase 1, and subject the approach to rigorous field-based research to determine its effectiveness in educational or early intervention settings.

The application package for the 84.327A competition can be viewed at http://www.ed.gov/fund/grant/apply/grantapps/index.html.
